The ActionScript virtual machine that runs ActionScript 3 code (AVM2) is completely different from the ActionScript virtual machin that runs ActionScript 1 and ActionScript 2 code (AVM1). Because of this, you cannot call commands in an AVM1 movie from and AVM2 movie or vise versa. The virtual machines just are not compatible in that respect [...]
As you read each of the following descriptions, consider opening Flash, pasting the code into timeline script and testing the swf. FileReference.save() var file:FileReference = new FileReference(); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick, false, 0, true); function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {file.save(“some text.\nsome more text”, “actionsnippet.txt”); } This is one of my favorite features of Flash 10. We can save any kind [...]
Hi all and welcome to another Flash actionscript 3.o tutorial brought to you by the EZ DESIGN team, In this tutorial we are going to show you how to make a very simple Flash analogue clock. This tutorial is written once again with Adobe Flash CS4 however the code used in this is also compatible [...]
Using the new ByteArray (flash.utils.ByteArray) class in ActionScript 3, you can now easily create deep object copies. By deep, I mean being able to create copies not of just a single object and all its references, but also all the objects it references. This means if you use this method to copy an array which [...]
In Chapter 13, we showed how to use a LocalConnection to communicate between an AS3-based movie in Flash Player’s AVM2, and an AS2-based movie in Flash Player’s AVM1. The example was basic, using functions to stop and start an animated movie clip. In this first of future additional examples, we’ll pass data into a function [...]
The System class (flash.system.System) in ActionScript 3 has a new property called totalMemory (flash.system.System.totalMemory). This property provides the current memory usage of the Flash player in bytes. Examples: var o:Object = new Object(); trace(System.totalMemory); // 4960256 var o:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); trace(System.totalMemory); // 4964352
This tutorial will teach you how to use the AS3 SharedObject Class to store small amounts of data on the end user’s machine. This stored data could be used to store a game’s highscore, a user’s login data, or any other information that you need to be remembered when the user visits your Flash movie [...]
today we are going to create a great little hand writing effect. This is perfect for use as part of a flash intro movie or as part of a website header/banner. We are using Adobe Flash CS4 again for this tutorial although this is entirely timeline based so it should work with older versions of [...]
